''While you waltz
1t is now many years since this express I
sion was made popular by downtown I
halter, who advertised to "block your hat /
while you wait, for fifty cents" but it
still retains its value in a commercial
sense, and has been appropriated by the
manufacturing world generally through
out the length and breadth of the land.
As originally applied to the hatter's busi-
ness it was ridiculed, laughed at and crit
icised perhaps more than any other ex-
preston of the kind, unless it be the Oft
quoted ''boots blacked inside" and yet
to-day it is an important line in the
advertisements of nearly every manufac
turing interest in the United States. Do
you want a pair of trousers, a suit of
clothes, a shirt, your shoes soled and
heeled, a new handspring in your watch,
a set of false teeth, house built-do you
want anything that can be made by the
hand of man-you can get it ''while you

At a certain haberdasher's near Union
Sqnare shirts can be had to order, made
after any pattern, in any size, guaranteed
to fit and ready to wear while the custo
mer is getting shaved around the corner.
1t is accomplished by having ready-cut
sleeves, yokes, bosoms, bands and bodies
always on hand. A capable cutter with
a few flashes of his big shears will cor
rect the defects of any of the parts,
skilled operators will run parts through
the sewing machine in a twinkling,
while a patent washer, rinser, wringer,
dryer and ironer will turn the shirts out
ready to be put on, and all inside Of
twenty minutes. In Houston street with
in the shadow of Police Headquarters,
there is a concern that will sole and heel
your shoes while you look over the col
umns of the daily paper, and determine
to what place of amusement you will go
to in the evening. The tailors on the
/ Bowery who will measure customer for
/ pair of trousers, cut, trim and make
/ them and press them while he is taking
/ his lunch, are numerous, while those who
will turn out full suit of clothes while
! the customer is taking in some one OF
the theatres near by are quite as many.
Dentists, who have in stock all kinds,
varieties and qualities of plates, and will
fit a patients mouth with partial or full
set of teeth in less time than it once
took to draw single tooth, abound on
Eighth, Sixth and Third avenues, as well
as some of the cross streets. In Chicago
there is a dentist who advertises to fur
nish new and full sets of teeth, guaran-
teed to give satisfaction, by mail or ex-
press, and sends the same to remote
points on approval. A firm of builders
in Michigan will ship at once on receipt
of order any size, kind or variety of a
frame structure that may be desired.
Parties intending to locate in Florida OF
at the seashore are especially requested tC
send for descriptive circular These
houses are built in sections and shipped
as they are built. An hours work, the
proprietors say, will make any changes
that a customer can possibly want. Sew
eral persons who will summer at Asbury
Park and Ocean Grove this year, it Is
understood will introduce these ready
made homes there early in the season
The same manner of houses were pre-
pared for the late Greely Relief Expedi

to the assertion of the manufacturers, thai
the entire movement is taken out and &
new one of the same kind is substituted
Now that most of the movements sold arC
made by machinery and of standard sizes
Just as the cases of a watch are made, il
is easy to see how this can be done. Per
sons having a Jurgessen or any othel
valuable movement however, would dc
well to pause before they have a watch
maker repair their timepieces while they
wait. Still, there are parts of a watct
movement that can be duplicated almost
at moments notice without affecting it:
value, such as pinions, ratchets, geal
wheels and screws.
The science of cutting, fitting and
trimming ladies garments has progressed
TO such an extent that a dressmaker very
often makes an entire suit for a customer
while she is finishing a shopping tour
and as is Oftentimes done by mems tailOrs
habit-makers cut, tt and make dresses
while customer waits in her parlors
Printers will prepare a form for job
make it ready and run off an order while
a customer writes a letter, and recently
the writer had a card engraved anC
printed while he selected a wedding in
